Frequently Asked Questions

We manufacture to very strict Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) involving the highest levels of hygiene. We monitor every batch for contamination throughout its process. We are confident every ingredient is 100% safe and guarantee this with every batch.

We provide a 3 year shelf life guarantee based on Real Time Storage Trials, Accelerated Shelf-Life Testing (ASLT) and water activity measurements on each batch.

Our ingredients are happiest at room temperature or below. Our 3rd party testing demonstrates the ingredients remain safe and stable up to 40° Celsius.

Our ingredients are best used as capsules and stored in bottles. This protects against moisture and oxygen. If the ingredients are used as a loose powder steps need to be taken to avoid exposure to moisture and oxygen for extended periods of time.

This depends upon the ingredient as each has a different density. Also milling will determine the mesh size and density. Typically we find 300mg to 500mg is achievable for a size 0 capsule, depending upon the ingredient and milling.
